WAR and Wrath: Important Mechanics Discussed.

[HiirNoivl]

You'll be waiting a while, I don't intend to get a +1 on my Curtana. I did give airy fairy numbers above in response to yours.

lol Not good enough! You have to have equal gear... In Coil! lol It's just unfair that somehow you have fairy numbers and your argument is the accepted one. Pacification is overwritten because I use Berserked Fraction DoT before I'm pacified.

The Fracture adds up to roughly the same DPS as a Butcher's Block Combo. So no, Berserk doesn't do much in terms of lowering DPS if you're intelligent about it.

It's even better if you are pacified during Garuda's or Ifrit's Jumps or right when you're passing the ADS nodes to the other tank in Turn 2. In those cases Pacification doesn't lower DPS at all.

In response to your Edit: I don't have as much STR as you, but I'm interested to know if you drop Defiance at all. I get over 180 on Anantaboga.
